En el marco del giro archivístico y del giro documental que las artes han conocido en los últimos años, el ensayo indaga la denominada ‘poesía documental’, con un enfoque en la propuesta estética del poeta peruano Paul Guillén en Sisma: poema documental. Miramos a indagar los problemas que esta forma de poesía conlleva en tanto forma de arte y a investigar cómo está empezando a difundirse en Perú como una de las formas privilegiadas para investigar las contradicciones de los procedimientos de reconstrucción de las memorias acerca de eventos traumáticos individuales y colectivos, como el terrible terremoto que afectó al Perú en el 2007 al que se dedica el poemario de Paul Guillén.
In the context of the ‘archival turn’ and the ‘documentary turn’ that the arts have experienced in recent years, this essay explores the so-called ‘documentary poetry’, with a focus on the aesthetic approach of the Peruvian poet Paul Guillén in Sisma: Poema Documental. We aim to examine the challenges this form of poetry entails as an art form and to investigate how it is beginning to gain traction in Peru as one of the preferred methods for exploring the contradictions in the processes of reconstructing memories of individual and collective traumatic events, such as the devastating earthquake that struck Peru in 2007, which is the central subject of Paul Guillén’s poetry collection.
